Could it be that they didn’t like my choice?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first Dogo quest in Seoul, ‘Headhunter,’ occurred when all the Strongest Swords of the Seoul Federation gathered in one place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, what Dogo wanted to stage at that time was a showdown between the outsider, Jeong Yeongwoo, and the assembly of Strongest Sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A confrontation between the Strongest Sword supported by Dogo and the seven strongest individuals in Seoul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reward was a whopping 5 million karma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘It’s certainly a large sum of money, but… it’s not worth leaving Seoul defenseless.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps that’s why this quest came about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Yeongwoo alone had to face the danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the reward of 2 million was certainly not insignificant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘So, what I must absolutely observe to clear this quest is…’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Mission] Engage in a solo battle with Cha Dooseong using bare hands and win.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Bare hands, solo battle…’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can’t use weapons, and no one else can intervene in the fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘More than anything, having a solo battle is probably the most difficult. The two of them will be here soon.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, at that moment, there was a sudden movement behind Yeongwoo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, Songpa’s Strongest Sword and Seocho’s Strongest Sword arrived at the scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, this crazy bastard.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, Seocho’s Choi Namhee, a former detective, rolled her eyes in exasperation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the bodies piled up like mountains in the park, she was furious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shwaaaack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she immediately drew her sword, Yeongwoo stepped back from Cha Dooseong and simultaneously blocked Choi Namhee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ms. Namhee, hold on a moment!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What…?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Choi Namhee, momentarily annoyed, spat out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was annoyed because her flow was interrupted, even though she could start smashing the mutant’s head right away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since Yeongwoo would lose 2 million immediately if Choi Namhee intervened, he had to at least make up some nonsense to ensure a solo battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I want to fight first. Alone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“….?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you talking about?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Oh Yeonhee, who was maintaining some composure, widened her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a completely incomprehensible story even in common sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The survivors of Gwangjin-gu, who had been unable to say anything until now, erupted into chaos as if they were driven to the edge of a cliff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why alone?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why suddenly like this? Why now of all times?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t he know who the opponent is…?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A situation of madness where nothing comes to mind except for the word ‘crazy.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst this, the only one laughing was Cha Dooseong, the mutant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「He’s really an interesting guy.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although there was a gut feeling that this tough guy with a strange title wouldn’t be an ordinary opponent, it didn’t make him afraid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The former Gwangjin’s Strongest Sword he had faced earlier was so weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, even if he were to face a Strongest Sword from another region, they wouldn’t be much stronger than a dead man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Indeed, unless it’s a time like this, there won’t be a chance to fight against someone like me. Stupid, but brave.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Oh Yeonhee, sticking closely behind Yeongwoo, spoke with a grimace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you really crazy? Does it make sense to deliberately fight alone? What’s going on?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To this, Yeongwoo alternated looks between her and Choi Namhee and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have achievements to fulfill. I feel like I won’t be able to resolve them if not now. Please understand.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even so, this…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If it really doesn’t seem right, I’ll request support. Please help me then.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“….”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, the expressions of the two Strongest Swords were still difficult to persuade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is a time and place for everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since the new Strongest Sword insisted on fighting alone, there was no reason to break the harmony by insisting otherwise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s really out of his mind.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, Oh Yeonhee raised both hands, and following her, Seocho’s Strongest Sword Choi Namhee also stepped back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If it seems like you’re falling behind, we’ll step in right away.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes. Understood.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus began the solo duel between Gyeongbuk’s Strongest Sword and the mutant Cha Dooseong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the real shocking event was just beginning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Yeongwoo stood in front of Cha Dooseong, he put the Underdog he had been holding in his hand on the ground and assumed a combat stance, following his opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was such a sloppy posture that it was evident he didn’t even know the ‘stance’ of combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, eventually,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Kkuukukkk…!」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cha Dooseong, who was staring blankly at him, burst into laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「You’re going to fight like that with me?」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, in an instant, his face turned cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「This bastard… Does he think I look like a fool just because he avoided one punch by chance earlier?」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before becoming a mutant, Cha Dooseong was a human, a boxing player proud of his fists and medals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, he felt extreme humiliation that someone who couldn’t even properly hold a stance dared to challenge him to a fistfight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「I’ll beat you until every bone in your body is shattered.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, with a sharp gleam in his eyes, Cha Dooseong rushed towards Yeongwoo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A forward step worthy of a gold medalist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Choi Namhee, the only one here who had trained in martial arts, immediately realized Cha Dooseong’s movements and grabbed his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You bastard, you’re really crazy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These words were directed at Gyeongbuk’s Strongest Sword Jeong Yeongwoo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To dare to challenge a top-tier boxer bare-handed was madness, indeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Cha Dooseong now had the body of a ghoul, standing at a towering height of 2 meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, due to the significant reach difference, a close-range fight itself was impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In almost every situation, he would be the one to take the first hit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, Yeongwoo was keenly feeling that as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Phew.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Yeongwoo exhaled within his clumsy guard, the fist came flying in from a much farther distance than he had thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fist was so fast that it momentarily made a whip-like sound, and sensing it, Oh Yeonhee adjusted her sword stance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed like it wouldn’t work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeongwoo, who had been standing with a sloppy pose until now, suddenly raised his guard tightly and bent both knees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Translator – Night]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Proofreader – Gun]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then his upper body naturally descended in a diagonal line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, Cha Dooseong’s fist swept through the space where Yeongwoo’s head had been, missing its target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“….!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeongwoo had evaded the opponent’s fist once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, what just happened was…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…Ducking.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Choi Namhee murmured involuntarily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was one of the basic evasion techniques in boxing, typically used to avoid straight attacks like jabs while aiming for a counterattack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘If he has used it correctly by now…’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With an inexplicable sense of anticipation, Choi Namhee widened her pupils as Yeongwoo’s upper body, lowered in ducking position, rotated like a slanted ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘What…?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though it was amateurish, it was clearly a predictive weaving for the opponent’s follow-up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, Gyeongbuk Strongest Sword is showing the level of game management at least at the level of a city-level regional competition in terms of tactics alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「You bastard!」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cha Doo-seong’s right straight cut through the air in anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Youngwoo’s upper body was already rotating at an angle, he ended up narrowly splitting the empty space again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「What…?」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Cha Dooseong was convinced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His opponent had some inexplicable ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time he reached out his fist, he couldn’t describe it, but he felt a sudden decrease in attack speed and power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And judging by all the skills the opponent had demonstrated so far, it was clear that this was purely a hoax caused by that unknown ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「You… what the hell.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Cha Dooseong was about to voice his suspicion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thunk!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeongwoo’s upper body, which was in the midst of weaving, came to a halt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wham!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From bottom to top.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A rather weighty light uppercut shot out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wow…!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Choi Namhee’s mouth, which had been gaping wide open, widened even further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To face a boxing gold medalist and deliver a ducking, weaving, uppercut combo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And not even taking a single hit in between.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Choi Namhee, it looked like a miracle in itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「….Damn」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Cha Dooseong, who had lived his whole life as a boxing genius, this was nothing short of a disaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shwooat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, due to Cha Dooseong’s body bent in evasion, Yeongwoo’s uppercut ended up cutting through the air, accomplishing nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least, it was too obvious a pattern for Cha Dooseong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the important thing was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What, what’s…?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is that guy also a boxer?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s happening?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like the reactions of the Gwangjin survivors, at least from the outside, it seemed like the fight between the two was making sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Yeongwoo was gradually getting more accustomed to ‘bare-handed combat.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Ha… Is this worth it?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he was currently moving clumsily as instructed by ‘Rohm’s Bottom,’ he could instinctively feel it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he could properly execute this instruction, he would be able to bring down the opponent sufficiently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huu…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the hologram in front of him was once again assuming a fighting stance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was time for another round against the mutant boxer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Is he still using boxing style again…? Even if so, wouldn’t it be better to wrestle instead, considering the opponent is a gold medalist…?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeongwoo silently questioned his martial arts inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasn’t tackling not very effective against Jeong Hyunsik back then?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But naturally, there was no answer coming back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Right. Let’s give it another shot.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the hologram in front of him took a forward step this time, Yeongwoo stretched his leg forward blindly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, this time, Cha Dooseong prepared to counter the attack with ducking as the opponent’s attack came out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was planning to dodge to the side while the opponent’s attack was coming out, thinking of throwing a check hook.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If things went well, he could hit the throat or jaw directly and knock them down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus began the third match between the two fighters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, Illusion that wrapped around Yeongwoo’s foot pushed forcefully against the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「……!」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Cha Dooseong interpreted it as a forward one-two and pulled his chin and upper body downwards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Yeongwoo’s right foot kicked off the ground, sending his knee bouncing into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a flying knee kick, prepared by Rohm’s Bottom, fighting like a prisoner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「This son of a…!」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cha Dooseong hurriedly raised both arms to protect his face, thinking like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘W… Wasn’t this boxing rules?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the monologue in his head could finish, a flying knee kick struck his guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kwaaaah!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, shortly after, a trembling voice came from behind Jeong Yeongwoo’s knee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This battle is supported by Dogo, a galactic-scale weapon brand…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Translator – Night]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Proofreader – Gun]\u003C\u002Fp>",1907,"2026-06-09T07:03:45.853Z",1,"novelbin.me","c99044f06346a16590df9deb533152328fe0dcfced89c8a1cd695bdd9b87f751","level-4-human-in-a-ruined-world-chapter-105","level-4-human-in-a-ruined-world-chapter-103",688,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flevel-4-human-in-a-ruined-world-cover.jpg"]
